I don't think it is wrong if all those who surround you love you....why would someone surround themself with enemies?

However.....I've been on this earth long enough to know that not everyone gets along and it would be naive of me to think everyone I know loves me.

OP, for someone who just became a member of this mb, you have advanced to "irriating" very quickly. Actually.I.Think.You.Started.Out.That.Way.

What's with the periods between every word? Is that a new thing?

I don't go in search of enemies in my personal life, but I do watch or listen to the news at least once a week from a station and/or person that is known for thinking differently than I do.

Every once in a while, I learn something - a new slant or a new way to explain to myself why I really do believe my own thinking is okay. Either way, I always feel I'm doing a service to my own thinking.

I think can be true, sort of like another famous saying, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

You must face life and reality. Everyone and everything doesn't love you or even care about you. We shouldn't be delusional.

Those periods between every word on your posts are ridiculous. Another way to get attention, whoever you are this time.

So people who think differently than you are enemies? Interesting.

“If everybody loves you, something is wrong.

----Paulo Coelho

It.Probably.Isn't.But.Coelho.himself.seems.to.be.attempting.to.win.the.love.of. everybody.

Author Paulo Coelho Caught A Kid Selling Pirated Copies Of His Book — He’s Not Even Mad

Author Paulo Coelho learned that a teenager in New Delhi was selling copies of his books. He could’ve gotten angry at the boy for selling these “pirated” copies in the streets, but instead, he shared the story on his Facebook page, congratulating the boy for finding an honest way to make money.

Coelho, a Brazilian novelist best known for his 1988 title, The Alchemist, learned of the young man selling his books yesterday.

However, he didn’t take legal action or call for the books to be taken from the boy. Instead, he posted this photo on his Facebook page, of the young man selling not only books by Coelho, but by others including John Green and Malala Yousafzai.
